Biden takes lead in Pennsylvania

Joe Biden has a lead in the crucial state of Pennsylvania in the US presidential race.

Joe Biden has a lead in the crucial state of Pennsylvania in the US presidential race. But even if he is declared the overall winner, there could be court challenges to the result ahead, which may cause uncertainty for businesses, as Myron Brilliant, head of international affairs at the US Chamber of Commerce, explains. Also in the programme, trade relations between Australia and China are plumbing new depths amid reports that a range of Australian goods are no longer welcome on Chinese shores. Andy Xie is an independent economist based in China and discusses the background to the dispute. Plus, the New Zealand national All Blacks rugby team is facing financial difficulties as a result of the pandemic. The team is looking to private equity investors for money, but we hear from Alex Lowe, rugby correspondent at The Times, that fans fear it could change the spirit of the game.
